Solar Returns, Predictive Astrology, and Applied Astrology. This archival manuscript is a set of revised lecture and instructional notes on Solar Return charts by Marion D. March. March outlines the technical principles and interpretation rules for Solar Returns, which freeze transits for the exact annual moment the Sun returns to its natal position. She advocates calculating the return chart for the individual’s current place of residence rather than their birthplace. The guide details interpretive priorities, including the Solar Return Ascendant, rising planets, the house placement and aspects of the Sun, the natal house coming to the Solar Return Ascendant, and hemispheric or angular distributions. Additionally, March provides specific astrological signatures for predicting major life events, such as marriage, childbirth, career changes, relocations, divorces, and health issues.
